    You are so right. I’m At almost 200. As I used to say when I had my Harleys,”some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug”. Kind of describes my adventure here

    They don’t call it the “f” chord for nothing

  • I’m 80 and I made a couple of choices. This is my last go around. Now my guitar never goes in the case but sits beside me. I also realize that I’m only going to play some of the challenges ok.i also decided to learn songs from my era for nostalgic reasons and to help remember those times “ when I wore a younger man’s clothes “. So now I call myself a “folk croaker” who plays my version of mostly old Bob Dylan type songs.i get a couple things from the challenges every once in awhile and am really starting to get better. Stick with it and show up!

    Ta da ! Yup not demanding that you be perfect AND showing up seem to me to be the top 2 rules of progress.

    For me the next step was exposing myself to the daily challenge with the understanding that most of it will be above me for awhile just getting a little snippet of knowledge EVERYDAY.also on you tube look for a simple song you like and learn it in conjunction with tac. Keep on truckin.

    Eehaw! Getting over a stumbling barrier is always great feeling.my major barrier I can’t quite seem to surpass is fingerpicking and playing a separate melody at the same time. I might croak before I beat it

    Winning is always better than whining which is what I’ll be doing for the next couple of weeks having my guitar worked on.
